4e / GSL 4E Class Survivor - Round 10 (make your prediction)

[P1NBACK]

I'm going to vote off the Avenger. I seriously do not like the class in it's mechanics. I played Oath of Retribution or whatever where you have to be hit in order to deal extra damage. It was seriously one of the most frustrating experiences in my many years of D&D. It drove me nuts.

Anyways, as for predictions, I'll say Rogue, Fighter and Barbarian.

[Wepwawet]

Time to take out the Ranger! We don't need characters doing the same boring attack every round like old D&D times.
And after the ranger it's time for the rogue! I hope he doesn't make it to the final 3.

For the last 3, Fighter's there for sure, with the Barbarian and the Sorcerer probably

[OakwoodDM]

PLEASE can we get rid of the pointless matrix slot filling swordmage this time?

As for final three, I'm going to go with Fighter, Rogue, Barbarian (Although if I were king of ENWorld, I would say Sorcerer, Avenger and Rogue. Sadly, I'm not king of anything, so democracy will have to stand.)

[Allanon]

Goodbye Avenger, I will miss you not.

And after he's gone, it's time to finish of the druid...

My prediction, on who will stay alive:

Fighter, Barbarian, Sorcerer

I don't think the swordmage as a concept is pointless matrix slot filling. If it had focused on force effects instead of elemental damage, and dumped the sword fixation, I think the aegis of shielding variant in particular would have made an excellent specialist Abjurer.

Same for me !!

[Blizzardb]

My prediction: barbarian, fighter, rogue.

A pity, because I would vote out the fighter and rogue before many of the classes that already dropped (especially the leaders).

[UngeheuerLich]

bye bye Swordmage.

Last three will be fighter, barbarian and rogue. I believe those classes most dependant on leaders will be the last standing.

So, does this mean we have to announce who we voted for in here?

Well, for all I care the Sorcerer can rot in a pile of wyrmish manure. And since this whole contest is one big striker fan-convention, I predict Barbarian, Ranger, Rogue.

[Phaezen]

The ranger must die.

My predictions are for the Magic Man, the Fighting Man and the Thief. First in, Last Out

Actually, I believe the first three were the Fighting-Man, the Magic-User and the Cleric, who has already left the building. The Thief was fourth.

[Dice4Hire]

Well, I voted for the Avenger, but I probably should have gone Swordmage. ahh well, as long as both of them are gone

As for the final winners, it will be the fighter, fighter an fighter. He is good enough to stand on all three winner's podiums himself.

This.

Still voting sorcerer. Class simply doesn't appeal to me.

[Alaxk Knight of Galt]

Avenger must die... still

As for the top three, my wager will be Fighter, Barbarian, and Sorcerer.

[Thanlis]

I voted for rogue, cause it's the only class that tends to make the DM remember the ultra-fiddly concealment/hiding rules. Alas, I think it'll survive till the last three, along with the wizard and the fighter.

[ZzarkLinux]

Insert Avenger anger.
Once they're gone I'll go back to Ragnar the Ranger.

My personal votes for top 3 would be Warlock, Paladin, and Druid / Shaman.
I like playing the underpowered classes. Since few people will actually play them I can bring something unique to the table.

But of course final 3 will probably be Fighter / Rogue / Ragner.

No. It came to my attention last time I did a "public" vote (where you can find out who voted for what) that the system allows you to vote without logging in. Early on the wizard had like 5 votes, but no names listed by the system. I am counting names, not votes (which likely will have no appreciable effect, but you never know).

[yesnomu]

Thinking Fighter, Rogue and Barbarian like several other people.

With the Warlock gone, I haven't really disliked any other classes on here, so I'm voting for the Ranger for being somewhat homogeneous in combat style. It makes me sad to see the Avenger and Druid getting hate, they're some of my favorite 4e design.
